Itinerário

1. We will enter the Pulo di Altamura, one of the major karst testimonies of the Alta Murgia National Park. A truly unique scenario, a collapsed sinkhole with a diameter greater than over 700 m and a depth of approximately 90 meters with numerous caves, an ancient hermitage and a sinkhole. Magical place, inhabited by man since 5000 years ago, where cults were practiced in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, evidenced by the findings of human remains, engraved pebbles and the precious fossil of the Cypraea shell. We will explore some of these dark places and then walk along panoramic rocky paths, among meadows of ferules and asphodels, under the flight of various species of birds of prey, including the kestrel and the migratory kestrel, and other birds. At the end of the excursion you can reach the historic center of Altamura to taste the famous Altamura bread, made with durum wheat semolina from Alta Murgia, cooked in ancient stone ovens and renowned since the Middle Ages.

About Bari

Bari is the port city of Puglia on the Adriatic, with a maze-like old town, a medieval basilica holding the relics of St Nicholas and a long seafront.

Bari's old town, Bari Vecchia, is a tangle of white lanes and tiny squares on a peninsula pointing into the Adriatic, and many of its streets feel more like shared courtyards. The Basilica of San Nicola, begun in 1087 to house the relics of St Nicholas, draws both Catholic and Orthodox pilgrims, and the cathedral and the Swabian castle stand close by.

Top-ranked sights in Bari: Swabian Castle (Castello Svevo), Trulli of Alberobello World Heritage Site (Trulli di Alberobello), Piazza del Ferrarese.
